Hey, this is Durey. We're going to pause here for the people. In this episode it's me,

Kaya and D.R. talking about all the under-appointed news from the past week with regard to race,

justice, and equity. And then I sit down with the war-winning author, Johnathan Eyeg, to talk about his

newest book, King of Life. Here we go. Family, welcome to another episode of Pod Save the People.

I am D.R. a Balinger. You can find me on Instagram at D.R. a Balinger.

I'm Kaya Henderson. You can find me on Twitter at Henderson Kaya.

This is Durey at D.R. a Balinger.

Lots going on. Lots going on as we kick off this hot summer.

We were going to start, kind of, and just get the ick out of the way and talk about the

CNN town hall that happened with Mr. Trump. I watched it in its entirety. I don't know why.

I don't know why. But once I was in it, I was yelling at the TV like I'd never heard this man

speak before. And I think what was even, I think what I was also surprised by was the aftershow

and how the panels were getting the GOP folks on those panels outwitted and outdid the Democrats

on those panels to such a way that I just was like, did we not have a meeting before the meeting?

What is happening? There's a sense. I guess there's a cinema from South Carolina.

And I'll find you explaining the panels. Explain the panels.

Explain the panels. I remember the panels.

So CNN had two sets of panels after the town hall. It's literally every political speaking

head that works at CNN was on the panel. From Anderson Cooper to Van Jones, etc.

So there's two panels. And on both panels, from my perspective, more so the Van Jones panel,

they just got dominated by this black senator that was representing the GOP.

I don't know if he's a state, I don't know if he's a state senator or what I will find his name.
